Cat P5000

SN AT3503871
Don't know how old the lift is (at lest 10 yrs) but it only has 1075 hours. Had water in the oil so changed it twice and let it run for about an hour to burn off the rest. Noticed after about 45 minutes I heard the motor die. Walked over to the barn and fired it back up. Let it run another 15 or so and shut it off.

Next day try to start it and it does start but I have code E-27, CPS error. Other write ups on site list it may be the plugs and/or coil packs. Pulled plugs and they look good, have ordered a new set.

Don't know where the Diagnostic connector is or if a OBDII will work. Trying also to find the CPS location

Still looking for the OBD connector if there is one. Found 2 connectors next to the cup holder but think they are for switches, lights or other things on the dash. There are several pieces which can be removed and things added.

Replaced the plugs and error remains. Motor is missing so started removing connector off each coil pack and number 3 didn't notice a change. It uses 22448-AR215 coil pack and ordered one.

Replaced coil pack and motor runs smooth again. Error code remains so did the pedal dance to clear code, now all good once again

Looks like you didn't need us after all eh. Your buying the beer for getting us excited about nothing. LOL

Well spoke to fast, the code came back. It runs good, but code remains and it takes more cranking to start.

Sure wish I code figure out if it has a OBD2 connector

Not finding a lot of info, my next thing is going to do some more parts changing. Going to look at the Crank and Cam sensors. If both look good will replace the crank next

Changed my mind, (180K mile was time ) replaced both crank and cam
Another pedal dance and cleared code. Started twice and runs pretty good, think its fixed but what the heck do I know

Will use it in the next few days and see if it comes back, but it does start and stay running now

Ahh- another believer in the parts cannon approach. Yesss- come join me on the dark side. Load up the gun with some cheap sensors- let loose at the thing and watch those pesky codes disappear.
